The Nativity

  • Hunkydory Christmas classics: The Nativity
  • gold mirri card
  • 7x7" & 5x7" card blanks
 
For the 7" square card, I mat and layered the card front with the gold mirri and the patterned cardstock. I centralised the image topper and positioned the border edge pieces above and below. I trimmed the insert down to fit inside the card, with the printed message.

Using the other sheet of cardstock from the collection, I created this 5x7" card. I covered the card front with the cardstock. I then arranged the toppers onto the card and glued down with shallow foam pads to create dimension, but allow for easy posting. I cut the coordinating insert down to fit inside.

I made a feature of the printed scene on the remaining cardstock for this 5x7" landscape card. I simply mat and layered the cardstock onto gold mirri for the card front and finished with the sentiment topper up in the sky.

Angel's Wings

  • Hunkydory cute Christmas luxury card collection: Angel's Wings
  • Hunkydory second little book of Christmas
  • Hunkydory essential book of Christmas sentiments
  • silver mirri card
  • ribbons
  •  6x6", A5 & 6x4" landscape white card blanks
For the A5 card, I mat and layered the patterned cardstock onto silver mirri. I then arranged the image and coordinating frame onto foam pads in the main section of the card. I added a bow to the sentiment tag and glued this in place on the printed border.

Using the other sheet of cardstock, I created this 6" square card. I cut mirri card to cover the card front and added the patterned cardstock on top, with the border across the base. I interlocked the frame and image topper to create a more interesting shape and glued this into place. I added an essential book sentiment in the corner to complete the card.

For the other 6x6" card, I pieced together the starry border from one sheet and the other starry patterned cardstock to cover the card front. I added a border strip to cover the join, (as there wasn't one in this collection, I took a spare one from another set which was similar to the printed border on this cardstock). To create the topper, I used the coordinating image from the little book and glued the frame on top. I then carefully trimmed away the excess little book page which was overhanging the frame, so the image appeared to sit neatly within the surround. I glued this onto the card front with foam pads for dimension.
 
Using the printed images of the angels on the cardstock, I made two 6x4" cards. I cut the cardstock to fill the card fronts. I then chose ribbons to sit in the space beside the angels and secured this in position before I glued to the card blank. I then simply tied bows in the same ribbons and attached to the cards to embellish the selected messages.

star of wonder

  • Hunkydory cute Christmas luxury card collection: star of wonder
  • Hunkydory essential book of Christmas sentiments
  • Hunkydory adorable scorable cardstock
  • gold mirri card
  • red & white bakers twine
  • 8x8" & 6x4" landscape card blanks
I used the largest topper with the scalloped frame to make this 8" square card. I covered the card blank with the coordinating coloured adorable scorable card. I then mat and layered the yellow cardstock from the collection onto gold mirri card, to create a base for the toppers. I positioned the image and frame central to the mat, with the image raised up on foam pads. I then completed the front using the scalloped sentiment overlapping in the bottom corner, again glued with foam pads. I trimmed down the matching insert to fit the inside of the card.

For the first 6x4" card, I used the oval toppers. I covered the card front with the cardstock featuring the border strip. I then layered the toppers on, slightly overlapping with different depths of foam to create dimension.
I created the second 6x4" card to feature the printed image on the remaining cardstock. I simply matted the cardstock onto gold mirri card, to fit the front of the card blank and finished with an essential book sentiment.
Using the other sheet of patterned cardstock, I created the final card. I trimmed down the section with the characters to fit the card front. I then added two strands of bakers twine and wrapped them underneath the cardstock and secured in position, before gluing to the card blank. I finished the card with a tag sentiment from the essential book, angled on foam pads and embellished with a twine bow.
